Sušice is one of the starting points to the Central Šumava. It lies on the foothills of the Šumava on the crossroads of tourist routes and on the edge of the Šumava National Park. Thanks to its
position in densely populated Central Europe, to relatively good conditions of the countryside as well as to rich water sources the Šumava is often called the „Green Roof of Europe” offering
a great deal of possibilities to both active and passive relaxation. There are really a lot of possibilities of various trips in the Šumava, which will surely become your unforgettable experience.
